Developer “Reset” Approach Implemented to Help Spur Sales in a Dynamic Market

Executives of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty today released a sample price list for remaining inventory above the 27th floor at Olive 8 – a 229-unit condominium and hotel development in downtown Seattle. The new pricing strategy includes reductions across the board that vary from about 15% to more than 25% on some homes, according to Julie McAvoy, the Community Sales Director for Olive 8.

“Effectively, the price reductions is our seller making the first offer to homebuyers in this dynamic marketplace,” said McAvoy. “Selling today requires a conversation and we’re listening.”

The new price list comes out about a year after prior reductions that ranged from 10-15% and last fall an auction helped sellout targeted inventory below the 27th floor, according to McAvoy and NWMLS history. She estimates the total reductions in aggregate now range from 30-40% below presale pricing in 2007. “It a compelling opportunity for savvy homebuyers,” said McAvoy. “With prices correcting, timing the market may now have more to do with securing preferred selection and historically low interest rates versus anticipating further price cuts. I think we’re at a pivotal time in the center-city (Seattle) housing market and each community has a unique relationship within it.”

David Thyer, President of RC Hedreen Company and developer of Olive 8 says he monitors market values but
acknowledges the only price that matters is the one that a buyer wants to pay. “We’re not inclined to further
discount given recent sales comps in the building,” he said. “We know Olive 8 provides a great value today and we’re working our way up the building. Our three year construction loan extension provides us the time to sell into an improving marketplace over the next two years or so. Fortunately, we’ve saved our best inventory.”

McAvoy reports 10 new sales have been accepted so far in 2011 and active negotiations are taking place on several other homes. “I think buyers and sellers are finding better balance in supply and demand at Olive 8 and elsewhere,” she said. “It’s a signal that the market is stabilizing and an increase in sales means buyers are becoming more confident in home values.”

THE SAVVY INVESTOR-THE ONE WHO HAS DONE HOMEWORK-STEPS UP TO CLAIM HIS STAKE

The investors that prosper are the ones who see opportunity with a bright and vibrant future ahead. During the Great Depression, John D. Rockefeller stated, “These are days when many are discouraged. In the 93 years of my life, depressions have come and gone. Prosperity has always returned and will again.”

It’s been reported Rockefeller leveraged everything he owned to buy products on the cheap knowing he’d be exponentially richer when they inevitably rose in value again.

A many people made large amounts during the great depression and all increased their holdings and their wealth. It is possible to not only survive, but to thrive during in 2011.

However, one must be astute and selective. History has shown that stocks can fall to zero. Many investors will have nothing to show for their hard earned money. But we’re not suggesting a strategy based on equities.

We’re suggesting you consider something that is much more rare—oceanfront real estate.

OCEANFRONT REAL ESTATE IS IN A DIFFERENT CLASS ALL TOGETHER

Not only is it impossible to fall to zero, but also you can live and breathe your investment. What stock can provide you with sand, ocean and palm trees. There will be winners as a result of this downturn. Will you be one of them?

Future plans for growth of the Seaside Mariana community include a recently announced strategic alliance with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN) to develop a 330-room Wyndham Mariana Resort & Casino within the community’s town center. Plans for breaking ground on the first holes of El Madrono – the Community’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, are scheduled for fall of 2011.

“Wyndham and Nicklaus create the possibility for another huge boost in our ability to give back,” says Chairman Fleming. “A great momentum is building toward a strong and positive future of Nicaragua’s Pacific Coast. With the help of additional consumers and investors, it is possible to not only change infrastructure, but change lives.”

The ocean always has been a source of life, and it now is giving life to a new and unique place that derives its existence from the melding of sand and water where the Pacific Ocean kisses the shore of Nicaragua. Years of careful planning are now giving way to creation as construction begins on Seaside Mariana, a 923-acre community with over a mile of pristine beach.

Seaside Mariana is an evolving vision centered around six neighborhoods to produce an unparalleled resort lifestyle. Each neighborhood features a variety of residential options to meet individual needs and provide outstanding investment opportunities. Adding to the sense of community are a collection of amenities that include a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, Wyndham Mariana Resort, world-class spa, restaurants and shops that reflect the distinctive culture of Nicaragua.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS AT SEASIDE MARIANA IN FEBRUARY 2011

The master plan for Seaside Mariana now is ready to take shape, with construction scheduled to start very soon. As the building process begins, the wonderful opportunities to invest, live, retire or just decompress here become reality. And it’s a reality that’s both affordable and lucrative. The team at Grupo Mariana , the Nicaragua-based organization developing Seaside Mariana, is ready and able to explore with you the options and financing available, and help you learn how simple and secure it is to purchase and own property in Nicaragua.

Seaside Mariana Oceanfront Community in Nicaragua Dedicated To Giving Back 5% – 25% of Sales to Support Economic Growth of Surrounding Pacific Coast Region.

San Rafael del Sur, Nicaragua – After four years of planning, the ground breaking Seaside Mariana community is moving forward under an evolving vision that recognizes the profound changes in the world’s real estate markets and also the changing interests of individuals seeking an international lifestyle. Seaside Mariana now is planned around six individual neighborhoods set on 923 acres with over one mile of pristine Pacific Ocean beach.

Oceanfront Living & Vacation Packages

Grupo Mariana, the Nicaragua-based organization developing Seaside Mariana, has effectively revamped its strategy to reposition its real estate products, hospitality offerings and community alliances in order to meet and serve the needs and desires of investors and travelers. “We have carefully watched the market situation and listened to what’s being said,” says Kevin Fleming, chairman of Grupo Mariana. “As a result, we have carefully rethought and reconfigured our master plan to reflect market realities and the shifting interests of consumers.”

The master plan for Seaside Mariana integrates a broader selection of residential options to widen the overall appeal. The community now includes low-rise beachfront condominiums, town homes and private bungalows in addition to the individual golf course homesites and golf villas featured in the original plan. Still an integral part of Seaside Mariana is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, El Madroño, and Plumeria, a spa and health club.

Future plans for growth of the Seaside Mariana community also include a recently announced franchise agreement with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), to flag the development and operation of the 330-room Wyndham Mariana Resort & Casino within the community’s town center. Situated on 6 beachfront acres, the project will feature an oceanfront Wyndham® hotel, casino, condominiums, casitas and golf villas.

Truly Affordable Real Estate Opportunities

One new component, Laya Boutique Hotel and Bungalows, is an eco-conscious offering with 28 beachfront bungalows, with construction slated to begin in the first quarter of 2011.

Pricing is another area that Grupo Mariana has seriously examined in order to reflect the current market. As a result, prices for condos in three low-rise buildings in the first phase of the Mariana del Norte neighborhood are set between $99,000 and $260,000. Funding for this phase already is in place, with work expected to begin in the first quarter of 2011.

Fractional ownership options also will be available within Seaside Mariana in response to research and market demand indicating desire within the large Boomer market, many of whom don’t wish to be tied to a single resort property. As Fleming points out, the Boomer generation is interested in the ability to travel widely and experience different places. Fractional options start at $14,520, providing a one-twelveth ownership that entitles an owner to four weeks annual usage.

5% For Futures Program

“Another aspect we are very proud of is our commitment to reinvest five percent of each real estate transaction at Seaside Mariana back into the economic development of the surrounding area,” Fleming says of Grupo Mariana’s 5% for Futures Program. “It’s a win-win to help drive economic growth and sustainability, which enhances the lives of local citizens and makes the entire area more attractive to investors and visitors.”

According to Fleming, Nicaragua continues to gain recognition for its emerging economy, political stability and attractiveness to visitors, with tourism increasing over 300 percent over the last decade. International investment also continues to rise. These factors have enhanced the country’s status among investors and travelers.
